Belgium: Anti-far right protest scheduled in Brussels October 3

Event

An anti-far right protest is scheduled to take place in Brussels on Saturday, October 3. The demonstration is being held to denounce the authorities' decision to grant permission for a far-right protest by the Vlaams Belang party on September 27, while denying a protest on the same day by the anti-far right party. Participants of the demonstration are set to gather at approximately 14:00 (local time) at Brussels Central Station. Additionally, demonstrators will stand in solidarity with Greek anti-fascist protesters as members of the far-right Golden Dawn party stand trial over the murder of an anti-fascist activist.

A heightened security presence and localized travel disruptions should be anticipated in the vicinity of protests.

Advice

Those in Brussels are advised to monitor the situation, anticipate localized disruptions, and adhere to any instructions issued by the local authorities.
